I’m afraid that Twitter and Facebook has sucked the life out of my blogging, so please connect with me there (or on LinkedIn).

This week I signed on to join a global Internet company to lead product management efforts in China…starting in January!  It’s a big change for me and my family on a number of dimensions.  I had originally envisioned my next step as co-founding a new company or joining a venture-backed startup company at an early stage of rapid growth.  But my long standing interests in the global internet with a special focus on China lured me into signing up for a pretty exciting Beijing-based opportunity.   I’ll be based in Silicon Valley until my kids finish this school year and then we will pack up our worldly belongings (that is, after a massive Craigslist, Freecycle, and Goodwill purge) and move to the heart of Chinese culture, Chinese government, and the Chinese internet industry.  I have high hopes to improve my rudimentary Chinese, and also to develop a detailed taxonomy of Chinese cuisine types through personally eating all kinds of Chinese food!

I’ll share more once I actually join in January, after I find out what the guidelines are for blogging.  I hope to continue to blog on CNReviews, here, and maybe Tnooz.
